Overview

Mission

To provide a well-organized, supportive youth softball program where girls have an enjoyable experience playing softball, learn softball skills and life lessons, and build lifelong friendships in a positive and nurturing environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Brw fields competitive travel softball teams for girls across age divisions from 10u through 18u under the blast and finesse programs, including a fall travel season. The organization provides uniforms and equipment, registers teams for league play and tournaments, secures practice and game facilities, and engages umpires and coaching staff. During the fiscal year the organization operated teams across nine age-group rosters, competing in regional tournaments and league play throughout the spring and fall seasons.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
